Psychological Pressure in Competitive Environments: Evidence from A Randomized Natural Experiment: Comment
In contrast with Apesteguia and Palacios–Huerta (2009), we provide laboratory evidence that strictly competitive environments are characterized by a second–mover advantage. This finding is obtained in a setting, a free–throw shooting competition among pairs of professional basket players, which overcomes the major limitations of Apesteguia and Palacios-Huerta’s randomized natural experiment. JE...

Apesteguia and Palacios-Huerta (forthcoming) report for a sample of 129 shootouts from various seasons in ten different competitions that teams kicking first in soccer penalty shootouts win significantly more often than teams kicking second. Collecting data for the entire history of six major soccer competitions we cannot replicate their result. Teams kicking first win only 53.4% of 262 shootou...
متن کاملPsychological Pressure in Competitive Environments: New Evidence from Randomized Natural Experiments
Dynamic competitive settings may create psychological pressure when feedback about the performance of competitors is provided before the end of the competition. Such psychological pressure could produce a first-mover advantage, despite a priori equal winning probabilities. Using data from a randomized natural experiment – penalty shootouts in soccer – we re-examine evidence by Apesteguia and Pa...

Sabotage in Tournaments: Evidence from a Natural Experiment Many tournaments are plagued by sabotage among competitors. Typically, sabotage is welfare-reducing, but from an individual’s perspective an attractive alternative to exerting positive effort. Yet, given its illegal and often immoral nature, sabotage is typically hidden, making it difficult to assess its extent and its victims. Therefo...
